Study Summary

This trial studies how well palbociclib works in treating pediatric patients with Rb positive solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged up to 21 with Rb positive advanced solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have returned or are treatment-resistant. Participants must have measurable disease, adequate organ function, no prior CDK4/6 inhibitors like palbociclib use, and be able to swallow capsules. Pregnant individuals or those on certain medications are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of palbociclib in treating patients with specific cancer types that have genetic alterations affecting cell growth. It aims to see if this drug can stop cancer cells by inhibiting proteins necessary for their proliferation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Palbociclib may cause low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk, bleeding issues, fatigue; nausea; hair thinning; rash; diarrhea; mouth sores; loss of appetite and potential liver problems as indicated by changes in blood tests.
